Note: this patch is obsolete now that patch v0.4 is available.
This is patch version 0.3 for Rocks 2 Rockets version 0, 0.1, or 0.2.
It is only a patch, you must have the full version 0 of Rocks 2 Rockets installed for it to be of any use. You do not need to have the earlier patches installed as this patch also includes everything that was in those, but it will install fine if you do have them.
The full (except for this patch) version of Rocks 2 Rockets is here.
What is in this patch:
Instructions:
Note: you should save a copy of the files in you UserSettings folder and copy them back into the mod after installing the patch if the changes to these made by the patch are not wanted. They are all user perferences. What was changed in these user settings files:
Advanced Scoreboard.ini: scoreboard set to show a max of 33 players, was 30.
AutomatedSettings.ini: automated hunting set to only attack if the odds are at least 85%, was 50%.
CustomDomAdv.txt: domestic advisor has had a new screen added just for properties, showing the current amount and change from last turn for all of them, and some minor adjustments to a couple of the existing screens.
If you use these new files then any changes you have made on the Scoreboard or Automation tabs of the BUG Options will not be present. Any changes you have made to the Domestic Advisor screen will also be gone. You can, of course, redo them.
Once it is installed, the information you see by moving your mouse over your civilization's flag in game will report the Rocks 2 Rockets version as v0.3 and the DLL as build 3. Any game saved with it will, when loaded, show the Save File versions as version 3. If you don't see this, then it has not been installed properly.
You can continue playing existing saves. If you do, it will pop up a dialog box immediately after you get to the game map asking if you want to do a "modifier recalculation". This is part of a cross-version compatibility feature added to Civ4 by the C2C mod team allowing you to keep playing the same save with a new version of the mod. Existing dog based units, like trained dogs, will still be the same unit type they were before, but new ones will be the new Canine type which gives a different set of promotions. Likewise for the various Criminal type units like the Thief.
You can skip the modifier recalculation with no significant issues if you and the various AI players are still in the Prehistoric era and have only one city since very little relevant to that time period has changed. If you are past this point, I suggest giving it a try.
If you do the recalculation and it crashes, start again and skip it. (It can case a "Memory Allocation Failure" type crash on computers with a small amount of memory.)
Whether you do the recalculation or not, the next time you save the game the save file will include the new version number, and such, and after that it won't ask if you want to recalculate when you load the save.
